Yeah, what's wrong with a Bo1 group format? Are you conflicted because it's Bo1 and not a Bo3, or because there's a group stage? Unless there's 4 casters that are willing to cast all of the games for a longer period of time, it's going to be Bo1, because I'd have to cast all of those games, meaning if it's a Bo3, the time it takes to cast all of those games are longer, and unfortunately, I have to take time out of things I actually need to do to cast games, so there's a problem already right there. Making each group 30 minutes to an hour longer won't help me out at all.

Plus, as it was mentioned above, many other starleagues and tournaments has had Bo1 group formats for quite some time.

iccup generates 5 random maps every week. but i think only 3 needed for group stages. how do you pick them? and btw,i always see stupid motws.

Group format is fine. The problem is bo1. It'll be the matter of how good can you prepare against allins. Macro games will be exceptions but I'm just a player, I dont make rules.

Bo1 for groups is by far the best format imo.

I'm only going to be picking three of the five MOTW that's selected, so no big deal. Although, as of this post, I don't believe a new set of MOTW has come out, so I might be sticking with the MOTW that's FS, Neo Medusa, Monte Cristo, Othello, and another map that I forgot.

As for "stupid" maps, which could be considered gimmick maps, although it IS out of the ordinary and unorthodox, everyone should be prepared to play on any maps regardless of how standard it is simply because it calls for different styles of games.

I'll weigh in my opinion that I personally prefer to play Bo3. As a player, it is much more fun to play a little series than just a single game vs an opponent. It just allows a little metagame to develop.

I'll be happy to play in any format & thx to SynC for hosting.

You'll be playing your group in ODT format. Julia, in your case, your first game will be against SouthPark on Othello. Then, if you win your game, you'll be playing the winner of iFu.Cryoc vs Siekier. If you lose against SouthPark, you'll be playing the loser of Cryoc and Siekier on Fighting Spirit.

iFu.Cryoc <Othello> Siekier
SouthPark <Othello> Julia
Winner of Cryoc/Siekier <Fighting Spirit> Winner of SouthPark/Julia
Loser of Cryoc/Siekier <Fighting Spirit> Loser of SouthPark/Julia
Loser of Winner's Match <Neo Medusa> Winner of Loser's Match


As for Bo3 format, maybe I'll decide a Bo3 format when I have a little more time in life in a couple of months. I agree that it is better in terms of showcasing a player's quality and it is more or less, being used in the recent leagues, but again, I just don't have as much time as I would like to have as of late and I'd rather keep things a bit shorter to cast.

For clarification, you guys are saying the first initial games are Bo3, and the rest Bo1 just like SSL, right? If every game was Bo3, then that would literally take 4 hours to cast each group.
